| There is a leak coming from the rear passenger door. the floor is soaked. after some on-line research, it appears that this is a common fit experience...which honda has done nothing about. this should not happen on a car that is only three years old. | |||

| I bought a 2009 honda fit about a year ago and it only has 11557 miles on it. in just one day the breaks went bad. i had to just replace the front brakes. it was so bad they were metal on metal. also had to have the rear brakes cleaned and adjusted. i brought it to the honda dealership that i bought it from because i couldn't believe that a brand new car that only has 11557 miles on it would have to have the brakes fixed so soon. they couldn't explain it or couldn't give me any answers on the subject. i called many mechanics and they all told me that this shouldn't have happened so quickly and that honda should have looked into it for me. honda wanted to charge me $460.00 and every other mechanic said it would be under $300.00. i got 2 front disc pads replaced and the slides and pins cleaned, new front rotors and the rear breaks cleaned and adjust for $285.00 at guercio's auto and truck repair. i just don't understand how a car with only 11557 miles on it has to have the breaks replaced. i do not drive my car crazy, i do not drive excessively like honda was trying to imply. | |||

| Towing a 2009 honda fit behind a motorhome when it locked up. everything was set according to the manuel. it is automatic. we were told it could be the battery but we are not satisfied with that explanation. have you heard of other honda fits locking up the front wheels while towing. it drives fine if not behind the motorhome. we dragged the toad for about 50 feet and had to replace two front tires. | |||

| Honda fit was parked in open parking lot, in 80+ degree weather, and 7 hour-unattended, returned to find windsheild cracked. crack starting at base/bottom and extending upward 14 inches, with no impact visible. photo taken and vehicle taken to local honda dealer, who said a rock hit it, they could not pay for repair. car was repaired at windshield at owners cost $412. numerous (online) reports suggest many stress related (windshield) cracks have to reported to honda. | |||
